@lylen.claire: You made it through the coldness of empty rooms and the crushing silence of days spent figuring things out on your own. But I also want you to understand that the survival mode you've mastered does not have to be your permanent state of being. You no longer need to carry everything by yourself. It's okay to let people in and admit you're tired. Your self-reliance was a brilliant armor, but you deserve a life in which you are not constantly at war. 🫂❤️🩹
